Introduction 1 Introduction Welcome to the world of high definition displays where you want to see High Resolutions, pure Quality to vision but at the reduced cost of huge panels. Do you have problems in projecting live telecasts to a bigger audience by connecting several panels and systems? The search ends here-with the Collage Display Feature. Collage is a picture art which is prepared by combining all tiles/pictures together in a single image.
Collage Display Feature 2 Collage Display Feature Collage display is a feature that allows users to combine multiple monitors to create a single unified desktop user interface to achieve a bigger viewing area and resolution. This capability allows user to enjoy higher quality pictures and videos with multiple low resolution supported panels. It is very cost effective in comparison to purchase of one single high resolution panel.
Collage Display Feature Figure 2. Horizontal Collage View -2 displays Figure 3. Vertical Collage View-2 Displays Currently Intel supports a maximum of 3 independent displays up to1920x1200 in platforms based on the 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processor and 2560x600 in platforms based on the 4th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor. In upcoming sections you will know how to get this exciting feature provided by Intel that is enabled on 4th Generation Intel Core Processor based systems.
Collage Display Feature 2.1 What’s Innovation with the Collage Display Feature? Collage display feature saves a lot of power, enhances performance capability, and offers bezel correction in order to display a single continuous image across multiple panels.
Minimum System / Hardware Requirements 3 3.1 Minimum System / Hardware Requirements Platform (Processor/Chipset) – Specifications Figure 4. Processor Figure 5. Chipset Table below lists both desktop and mobile recommended platform components for processor, chipset, and memory configurations.
Minimum System / Hardware Requirements Table 1. Recommended Platform Configurations System Desktop/AIO Processor Name 3rd and 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i5/i7 Processor Family Graphics Intel® HD Graphics 4000/2500 Panels Any 2 or 3 Panel Combination type VGA/Display Port/Extended DisplayPort*(eDP)/HDMI/ DVI up to Optimal resolution without DP splitter or 4 DP displays with DPsplitters Mobile including Ultra book 3.
Minimum System / Hardware Requirements 3.5 Horizontal Collage Display: Assuming all the connected display devices are of same model, maximum collage resolution will be (N * W) x H. Here N is the number of displays; W and H are width and height of the maximum resolution supported by the displays.
Minimum System / Hardware Requirements Intel® WiDi/Miracast or InTru™ 3D with Collage is not supported Media playback (Non premium content) shall be supported at 24, 30 and 60 (interlaced) Frame per Second. Collage Display feature shall be supported in Switchable graphics and Hybrid graphics designs Collage also supports Bezel Correction 3.8 How to Enable Collage Display? 3.8.1 Panels: 3.8.2 3.8.3 3.8.
Minimum System / Hardware Requirements 3.8.5 Installation Instructions for Collage Display Setups: Verify that your computer is connected with 2 displays and Download latest Iris™ and graphics driver from (http://downloadcenter.intel.com) Intel website for 3rd and 4th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Family 1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F12 to open the Intel® HD Graphics Control Panel. Note: For other methods to open the Intel Graphics Control Panel, see How to open the Intel® graphics properties window. 2.
Minimum System / Hardware Requirements 5. Select active displays to enable. 6. Arrange displays type as horizontal or vertical depending on the physical placing of the display devices. 7. Click Apply If Horizontal is selected under Arrange displays then a single image will stretch from left to right across two or three displays. This is called Horizontal Collage Mode.
Minimum System / Hardware Requirements Figure 6. Horizontal Collage Display in Intel® HD Graphics Control Panel If Vertical is selected under Arrange displays then a single image will stretch from top to bottom across two or three displays. This is called Vertical Collage Mode.
Minimum System / Hardware Requirements Figure 7. Vertical Collage Display in Intel® HD Graphics Control Panel 1. We can arrange displays as per our physical placement. Select identify display buttons in Intel control panel .Clicking on these buttons causes appearing of numbered circles on active displays. The number indicates whether display is Primary (1),secondary (2)or tertiary (3) as per our selection.
Minimum System / Hardware Requirements Figure 8. View after Clicking after Identify Display Button 2. Apply any resolutions under the Display settings for the active displays selected. Collage resolutions are dependent on native, EDID supported resolutions of the display panels. Figure 9.
Minimum System / Hardware Requirements 3.8.6 Horizontal Collage Display (3XxY) or (2XxY) where X is width and Y is Height of a Resolution. Figure 10.

Audio with Collage Display Feature 5 Audio with Collage Display Feature Audio splitting across multiple monitors in Collage display in both Horizontal and Vertical Modes will have a single stream audio support because a single image is shared across multiple monitors. A single audio will be available across all monitors connected.
Audio with Collage Display Feature For Collage Display across 4 displays, there is no additional software required. However, four displays that support 1920x1200 native resolution and DigitalPort are required to connect to two DisplayPort splitters from a computer. Note: Splitter should also have higher resolution support capability Figure 19. Two External DisplayPort* Splitters Look and Feel of Collage Display with Two External Display port Splitter Figure 20.
